Academic Probation is an official notice to students that they have performed below the established BYU—Idaho academic standards for a second time (after having been on Academic Warning). Students on Academic Probation are permitted to continue their enrollment at BYU—Idaho; however, students are restricted to no more than 12 credits until they return to Satisfactory Standing.
Students will need to complete the following requirments to have their Academic Probation lifted:
Complete the Achieving Academic Success Workshop (AASW tab for more information)
Earn 2.0 or greater cumulative GPA
Earn 2.0 or greater semester GPA
Earn 75% or greater semester SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress)
Earn at least six semester credits in a single semester
Students will remain on Academic Probation if they:
Earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher but fail to raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0
Earn less than six credits in their next semester of enrollment
Do not complete the AASW workshop before the semester grades are posted. (AASW tab for more information)
Students who have been placed on Academic Probation will be placed on Academic Suspension under any of the following circumstances:
Earn less than 2.0 semester GPA while on Academic Probation
Earn less than 2.0 cumulative GPA and have previously been on Academic Warning and Academic Probation at any time
If a student has returned to Satisfactory Academic Standing and they earn less than 1.0 semester GPA and have previously been on Academic Warning and Academic Probation at any time
Please note that a student cannot be placed on Academic Suspension for failure to maintain SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) alone. Failure to earn 75% SAP must also be accompanied with a semester GPA below a 2.0
If students are receiving University Federal Financial Aid, they should contact the Student Financial Aid Office to verify their eligibility.

Students may not petition Academic Probation because this standing does not prevent their ability to enroll in courses or have access to university resources.
PROB HOLD: Restriction to a maximum of 12 credits for any future semesters until Satisfactory Standing is achieved. Students placed on Academic Probation who had previously registered for more than 12 credits should reduce their credit load in adherence to academic standard policy.
AASW HOLD: Achieving Academic Success Workshop completion required. The above holds will not restrict the student from registering.
Yes. Effective Fall Semester 2010, BYU—Idaho introduced Academic Warning and stipulated that all students, regardless of the standard they do not meet, will go from Satisfactory Standing to Academic Warning on their first infraction. This policy is not retroactive. Students that received academic discipline prior to Fall Semester 2010 and have continued their education at BYU—Idaho do not start over on Academic Warning.
Additionally, a student cannot be placed on Academic Suspension for failure to maintain SAP alone. Failure to earn 75% SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) must also be accompanied with a semester GPA below a 2.0.
